Chapter 312 Poisonous Scheme
The coronation ceremony of the Son of God has concluded successfully.
Ning Fengyi, Bai Yan, and Liu Ping went to the sea with the Tide Emperor.
Huang Ba, Wu Meng, and Zhao Xueqian stayed at Tian Ce Palace to cultivate.
People who had traveled from afar to offer their congratulations departed one after another, and Tian Ce Palace returned to its usual peaceful state.
Feng Yu offered his killing formation to the sect in place of him guarding the Four Absolute Formations that Tian Ce Palace was responsible for sealing.
Subsequently, Feng Yu sent a message to Master Tianxu requesting to become the supervisor of the acting sect leader, and Master Tianxu replied that he agreed.
From then on, Feng Yu assisted Bai Ke in managing various affairs of Tian Ce Palace.
Bai Ke and Ling Xin'er agreed that they would get married after Bai Yan returned.
Three days after the coronation ceremony of the Holy Son, a wonderful show is unfolding at the residence of the sect leader of Tian Ce Peak.
In front of the table made of red blood wood, Feng Yu held a pen and looked helplessly at Bai Ke, who was sitting on the soft couch meditating and cultivating by himself.
"I'm telling you, you good-for-nothing, can't you pay a little more attention to these sect affairs?" Feng Yu said helplessly.
Bai Ke emerged from his cultivation state, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Feng Yu, whose face was clearly dark with displeasure, with a smile between his brows. He lazily said:
"Yes, I will. However, I am currently studying a high-level body-refining technique, and it is a crucial time. Elder Feng, could you please review these documents for me first?"
Feng Yu, enraged, threw down his pen and walked up to Bai Ke, intending to give him a sharp rap on the head. Bai Ke, however, easily dodged the blow and teased Feng Yu:
"Elder Feng, this pen is made of Crimson Blood Divine Wood, and the bristles are made from the mane of a high-level Nascent Soul stage spirit beast. Your smashing it costs tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones!"
"Stop talking nonsense. You asked me to apply to Master Tianxu to supervise you, and I did. But you sent me here just to help you review these bullshit documents?"
Feng Yu cursed angrily, then grabbed a handful of documents and threw them at Bai Ke, roaring again:
"I'm not here to help you with these damn daily sect leader duties! Do you even have any real business to do?"
Bai Ke, holding the stack of documents, calmly stood up and placed them back on the table. Then, he turned around and spoke slowly and deliberately:
"Old Feng, don't be angry. You know I hate dealing with these tedious calligraphy and ink-related tasks, that's why I asked you to help me with this. As for the important matter you mentioned..."
A cold glint flashed in Bai Ke's eyes, and then he said in a deep voice, "I have thought of an excellent way to wipe out Xing Jian's remaining forces and Gong Yu's faction in one fell swoop!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Yu sat down in a chair with annoyance, crossed her legs, and said while shaking them, "Tell me your method. If it's really good, I'll help you approve these documents from now on."
"Haha, is that really true?"
"Are you asking for a beating again, kid? Stop dawdling and tell me your ideas so I can give you some advice and point out any flaws."
Bai Ke coughed lightly, then waved his sleeve, and a screen made of spiritual energy appeared in mid-air. Upon seeing this, Feng Yu couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration:
"Good! I didn't expect that in just a few days since you broke through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, your mastery of spiritual power has already reached this level. I'm afraid your opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul stage is coming soon, isn't it?"
"Yes, I have now raised my cultivation to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. As soon as the opportunity arises, I will be able to enter the Nascent Soul stage."
"You're truly exceptionally talented. You're on par with the Tide Emperor Zhao Wudi and the Heavenly Strategy Prodigy Lin Yun. You might even surpass them in the future."
"Haha, you flatter me, Elder Feng."
Bai Ke appeared modest on the surface, but in reality, he was quite pleased with Feng Lao's high praise and was very pleased with himself.
"Ahem, let's get down to business." Bai Ke pointed to the screen floating in mid-air, gesturing as he explained to Feng Yu:
"My plan is as follows... While reviewing the sect's records, I discovered that in Liuhu Kingdom, a vassal state of our Tian Ce Palace, there is an ancient ruin that has not yet been fully explored."
"This ancient ruin was discovered three years ago by an outer disciple of our sect. At that time, the sect's higher-ups, upon learning of the discovery, promptly dispatched a team to explore it."
"The exploration team was personally led by my father, Bai Yan, and the main members included Xing Jian, Gong Yu, and Tian Xin."
"When the exploration team entered the ancient ruins, the Liuhu Kingdom also learned about the situation and wanted to get a share of the spoils, so they sent an envoy to make a negotiation request."
"As you know, my father is an upright and reasonable man, so he naturally accepted the envoy's request for negotiation, and the two sides went through negotiations."
"The envoy demanded exclusive rights to explore the ancient ruins, since they were discovered on their territory and belonged to them."
"This is absurd. Opportunities can be sought by anyone with the strength. My father directly rejected the envoy's unreasonable suggestion, and the final negotiation result was that both sides would jointly enter and explore, and what they obtained would depend on their own abilities."
"But once both teams entered the ancient ruins, they discovered that it was not so simple. The ruins were clearly the territory of an ancient sect."
“There are all sorts of killing formations inside. Our Tian Ce Palace exploration team was able to barely cope because my father was there, but the Liu Hu Kingdom was in a terrible state. They were almost completely wiped out along the way.”
"When both sides had explored halfway, they could no longer proceed because a killing formation that could threaten even a Void Returning stage cultivator blocked their way."
“My father suggested returning to the sect to report and request a higher-level elder to lead the exploration, but the few remaining Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Liuhu Kingdom disagreed.”
"They know their country is no longer capable of continuing the exploration, but if they send the people from Tian Ce Palace, the gains and losses from this trip will be completely disproportionate."
"So the two sides held another negotiation and finally reached an agreement that Tian Ce Palace would not be allowed to explore the ruins again for three years, but would be allowed to enter at will after three years."
“My father knew the strength of the Liuhu Kingdom. They couldn’t even produce a single cultivator at the Void Returning stage, let alone a Mahayana stage cultivator. So it was impossible for them to explore the ruins within three years, and that’s why he agreed to their request.”
"So this ancient ruin has been delayed until now. And nine days ago, the three-year deadline expired. So..."
Bai Ke didn't continue speaking. Instead, he turned his head and looked intently into Feng Yu's eyes. Feng Yu also looked up and met his gaze.
At that moment, they both understood what the other was thinking...
